Ok on our way to Nola for Surgery Pre-Op.... Had a tough night .... My lower back hurt so bad all night long .... Didn't sleep much! Guess from having to lay still on my back for 6 hours after the Angiogram.... Still hurting this morning ....But one thing I thought about this morning is...... God has given us the strength to walk through everything we've had to in the last 2 months since finding out about the Cancer. And has more than amply prepared us for the upcoming surgery, that 2 months ago seemed Sooooo overwhelming to us at the thought of making all the doctor visits and do all the paper work in the time we had to do it in....... So here we are in the home stretch and everything was able to be accomplished! And we're actually going to Pre-Op! God never ceases to amaze me! When God tells us He will be our strength.... He means it!!!
Ephesians 3:21- 21
"Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen."

Was a very exhausting day! But finally all signed up for surgery... Ready to go ... With clearances from all my doctor's ... So ready to take another step forward!!! With yesterday's Angiogram ... Getting up again for 6:00 am....No sleep last night and having to walk all over from doctor's offices to pre admitting at hospital and more blood work...more paper work... Stick me with a fork... Im done! I'm a gone pecan!!! LOL!
And praise God we got there for 8:45 because I thought that was my appointment time.... But it really wasn't until 1:45....Thank you Merciful Father for using my mess up for my good!!!! We would be still there and coming home in all that New Orleans traffic!!!! Oh and another blessing in the midst of a very overwhelming day... Was the hospital did accept all the test results paper work from yesterday's Heart Cath... ( lung x ray, EKG, lab results... Other wise I would have had to do all that too!!! But Praise God... We're home now.... And this girl is going to the showers and getting in some comfortable Jammie's and taking a couple Tylenol's and its to bed for me ! Thanks again guys ... You have no idea how important your prayers are to me!

Boy what wonders a shower and a nap for a tired and worn out body makes.
Just woke up and feel 100% better :)

I know why now my day was so overwhelming .... While hurrying to leave for 7:00 am .... I took a pic of my Devotional to read and meditate on the car ride over to the doctor appointment.... But because I didn't sleep last night from a sore back.... I promptly fell asleep in the car when the ride stared... Neglectful to read the devotional and pray I wasn't fully prepared for the day...But it sure was ready for me!!! ......
The Lord just reminded me of this word of advice....
When we think we don't have time to pray .... That's exactly the time we should stop everything and pray!!!
Lesson Learned Father God! (AGAIN!!)
Thinking on this word this morning would have put things in a different perspective for me ! .... Live and Learn .... It's a never ending process!!!

Today zapped me physically. . . But I'm back in the right place...my heart is light and I'm feeling expectant again about what God is doing in my life!!!. . .Thank You Lord heart emoticon I must remember ...getting worn down and not refueling (even for one day) leaves us an open target for a spiritual attack.
